Bob, thank you, thank you, thank you!! I am sure that is him. I was not sure how they spelled the name and tried a Barka list but there was not one. This is so helpful because my father in law was so mysterious changing his name to Parker and never telling anyone his real age. Steffen Barker who married Katrine was a musician in the Chicago symphony. Thanks again.
